As an adult learner in a community band, this 'Old MacDonald Had a Band' arrangement is so much fun! The Grade 2 difficulty level is perfectly achievable after a bit of practice, and it's incredibly satisfying to play such a recognizable, cheerful folk tune. It's a fantastic, relaxing piece that always gets a smile from the audience and the band members alike.

John Higgins' arrangement of 'Old MacDonald Had a Band' is a gem for developing bands. The Grade 2 difficulty is perfect for my students, offering a fun, familiar tune that reinforces basic rhythms and ensemble playing. The engraving is clear and well-spaced, making parts easy to read. A great addition to our repertoire, especially correlating with Essential Elements Book 2!
